Popped the engine lid and see the alternator kicked at an angle, the belt doing its best to hang onto it and keep it in line, but the damage was done. The mounting ear on the block snapped off. The good part is that it looks like this piece is relatively easy to replace..if I can find one.
I called for roadside assistance and was looking at a 90 minute wait. Keep in mind that I just got off from working all night and was having a hard time staying awake for my dental cleaning a few minutes before this. 90 minutes would not cut it.
I took another look, unhooked the belt and fired her up. Perfectly smooth idle. I decided I'm going for it..aircooled style. Luckily traffic was light and I made it 3/4 of the way back home before temps finally crested over 200 and I pulled over. Popped the lid again and was prepared to wait and let the light seabreeze do its thing. Just then a neighbor was driving by in his new car and swung in to check on things. I ended up shooting the shit with him for 10-15 minutes and by the time I assured him that I'd be okay and he left.. the temps were back down under 180 again.
I just pulled into the driveway with no further drama.. in fact she feels really quick with no belt at all..

I'll post some pics of the carnage once it cools down and I pull it apart. Looks like I'm in the G35 for a few days.
